Onyinyechi Achime and Akunna Achime have been arrested by the Enugu State police command for stage-managing the kidnap of their mom, Mrs. Hannah Achime, with the help of one Monday Egbe, a boyfriend to one of them.
Egbe was arrested and he confessed how Hannah’s daughters invited him to the business to enable them collect money from their elder brother, Eric, based in Lagos.
While being interviewed, the two girl claimed to have executed the crime as a last measure towards raising money for their mother’s medical treatment. One of them, a graduate of the Enugu State University of Science and Technology, who’s preparing for her NYSC program, said;
“we have been begging our brother to bring money for our mother’s eye treatment but he refused.The eye problem became so much and we had no option; we decided to do that in order to raise money. We took her to a hotel at the Camp and paid for a room there. I brought my friend and he helped us in arranging the kidnap. He was the one calling our brother, but he refused to bring money.He said the kidnappers can eat her if they liked. We didn’t hurt her at all; it was all for our mum’s good, though we didn’t tell her. She got to know later, and she has been begging the police to drop the case. As we speak her medical condition is even getting worse.”
